BICYCLING FINDS TCR ADVANCED SL 1 “FAST AND RESPONSIVE”

May 23, 2012

What do 120 pro cyclists from the recent Amgen Tour of California and the test editors at Bicycling magazine have in common? They both found out that Giant “…has a real passion for racing, and bikes like the TCR Advanced SL 1, used by the Rabobank team…shows it.”

ON THE RIDE:
“…it’s fast and responsive to pedaling and steering input…has enough give to reduce the amount of road chatter you feel…a fun bike that’s ready to let you scream up your favorite local climbs and tear down the descents.”

ON THE SPEC:
“Component Highlights…mechanical Dura-Ace…shifters, derailleurs, crank…Giant P-SLR1 wheels and tires…For 2012 Giant introduced a new standard for steerer tubes…this makes the front stiffer…letting you maneuver the bike quicker and with greater precision”.

BUYING ADVICE:
“Buy it if you want Tour performance in an understated package.”
